5. Snooki
Shortly after giving birth to her first child, the reality show star dropped 50 pounds. Her secret? More of the same. Eating healthier and daily training. Nicole Elizabeth Polizzi or simply “Snooki” was born in Santiago, Chile.
She was adopted when she was six months old and was raised by Italian American parents. She grew up and attended school in Marlboro, New York, where she was a cheerleader. During high school, she suffered from an eating disorder, at one point weighing 80 pounds (36 kg).
Nicole attended community college after graduating from Marlboro High School, where she studied to become a veterinary technician. Her television career started in 2009 when she appeared, along with her boyfriend Justin, in MTV’s “Is She Really Going Out with Him?”
After being scouted by the casting director, Josh Allouche, Nicole became a part of a reality TV series Jersey Shore and The New York Times immediately identified her as “the breakout member of the cast”. In 2011, Polizzi and her best friend from Jersey Shore, Jennifer Farley, signed a contract to star in a spin-off show, Snooki & Jwoww, which premiered on MTV in 2012. On April 4th, Polizzi announced via her website and her Twitter, that she and fiancé, Jionni, are expecting their second child.
